Nice story.

Halifax would be a viable home to anti American people. *Lots of Halifax was
settled after the revolutionary war by British loyalists from the USA.
They could not abide being the losers and still live on this side of the
border.

Not just Halifax. *So many came that they decided to split the
original Nova Scotia into two provinces... us and New Brunswick.
$%^%$#$ yanks... always trying to take over and change perfectly good
situations.

So the losers from down here came up there, kicked your ass, then pushed you off into your own province?

That's hilarious!!

Well Dummy... *my mother's people were part of those loyalists.
Dutch/Danish who had property in Harlem. *First they did settle in
what is now New Brunswick but eventually came over to the good decent
God fearin' people of the Digby area.
A lot of those Loyalists people were of substance in New England and
probably felt they deserved something from the British for staying
loyal and losing everything.
BTW *we already had our own province... they just took a little more
than half of it and created a new province.
I guess we can't complain, they acted as a buffer between us and that
rabble south of the border. *;-)

Thus leaving you hanging onto Canada by a thread of land. Who knows.
Maybe the next perfect storm will break you free and leave you rabble on
your own fantacy Island.

So what?
Two of the four Atlantic Provinces are already islands. If it happens
to us I'll be able to boat all the way around our fair province.

In that beer can boat of yours?

Suppose I could borrow that little 'rubber ducky' raft of yours.

You could but I don't have it propped right yet. It's probably as slow
as your floating beer can at the moment.

When you can get up to 27 mph... Call me.
Maybe we can get a little race going for some 'beer money.

Come on down, I'll race you!

"Among the results of the treaty was the decision to resolve the San Juan dispute by
international arbitration, with Kaiser Wilhelm I of Germany chosen to act as arbitrator.
Wilhelm referred the issue to a three-man arbitration commission which met in Geneva for
nearly a year.[9] On October 21, 1872, the commission decided in favor of the United
States.[2][5][7] The arbitrator chose the American-preferred marine boundary via Haro
Strait, to the west of the islands, over the British preference for Rosario Strait which
lay to their east."

Probably a great decision. The San Juan islands and the Canadian Gulf
Island are totally different geology. The San Juan's are actually mountain
tops where the Gulf Islands are more high spots off Vancouver Island.
